I am not English, although I have some English blood in me, as well as German, French, Dutch, Scotch and Irish, and my children have a bit of Seneca Indian in them from their mother's side. My username is from fantasy role-playing which I came to like and use in a lot of other places.

Yes, I know England's history well and am particularly familiar with the period of Rome's fall and it's impact in England and I don't see your point?

What part of “We hold these truths to be self-evident , that all men are created equal” is infallible?

What part of “That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” is infallible?

What part of “That to secure these rights government are created among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed” is infallible?

Many of our American Founding Fathers were not slaveholders; and even though Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, he was instrumental in outlawing the slave trade, and he began freeing his slaves but died before he finished. Slavery in the New World was not an American enterprise; it was European: French, British, Dutch, Spanish, etc. etc. Thomas Jefferson was born into a world of European-developed slavery; and the Muslim world was an essential ingredient in the enterprise as they were already culling African slaves and selling for profit to the Europeans.

“Slavery was practiced in Africa before the beginning of the Atlantic slave trade. Slavery and the slave trade were an integral part of African societies and states which supplied the Arab world with enslaved people for centuries before the arrival of the Europeans…The African continent was bled of its human resources via all possible routes; across the Sahara, through the Red Sea, from the Indian Ocean ports and across the Atlantic. At least ten centuries of slavery for the benefit of the Muslim countries (from the ninth to the nineteenth). … Four million enslaved people exported via the Red Sea, another four million through the Swahili ports of the Indian Ocean, perhaps as many as nine million along the trans-Saharan caravan route, and eleven to twenty million (depending on the author) across the Atlantic Ocean.”

“As the French empire in North America grew, the French also began to build a smaller but more profitable empire in the West Indies. Settlement along the South American coast in what is today French Guiana began in 1624, and a colony was founded on Saint Kitts in 1625 …The Compagnie des eacute;les de l'Amérique founded colonies in Guadeloupe and Martinique in 1635, and a colony was later founded on Saint Lucia by (1650). The food-producing plantations of these colonies were built and sustained through slavery, with the supply of slaves dependent on the African slave trade.”

“In the 18th century, France carried on two types of trade with its New World colonies. One was the direct trade by which France sent wheat, wine, metal objects, and building materials to the New World in exchange for sugar, and, to a lesser degree, cotton, cocoa, tobacco, rocou, and coffee. The other was the triangular slave trade, which the French referred to as the “circuit” trade. French ships loaded with trade goods sailed to Africa, where the goods were exchanged for slaves. The slaves were then taken to France's New World colonies, where they were exchanged for sugar and other plantation products.”

“The Du Bois Institute dataset lists 4,033 slaving voyages by French-registered ships destined for the Americas that sailed between 1669 and 1864. It excludes a large number of voyages whose final destination lay in the Indian Ocean.”

“In the history of the Atlantic slave trade, the French turned four times as many Africans into slaves as the Americans did, they used them far more brutally, and French slavers not only got a head-start on Americans, they continued the slave trade–legally–until 1830, long after the rest of Europe had given it up. And they kept at it clandestinely until after the U.S. Civil War. France officially abolished slavery in its colonies only 14 years before Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, and then only under pressure from slave uprisings.”

• Slaver voyages: France, 4,200; British North America/United States, 1,500.
• Slaves transported: France 1,250,000, British North America/United States, 300,000.
• Slaves delivered to: French West Indies: 1,600,000, British North America/United States, 500,000.*

“The British transatlantic slave trade, which flourished from the mid-seventeenth century until the early nineteenth century, was a major conduit for the enforced migration of Africans to the Americas. Between 1660 and 1807 over three million Africans were dispatched to the Americas in British vessels.”

magiaghaee, you are an uninformed anti-American Islamist; or would that be Marxist? No difference in regards to destruction of human rights and anti-Americanism.

Hardcore Wahhabi Islam is the “Islamic Reformation”; the Reformation of Islam is not in the direction of unaleinable human rights to life, liberty and private property, nor is it in the direction of law derived from the majority within a Constitutional framework which secures those human rights. The Islamic Reformation is retrograde; it takes us back to seventh century tyranny hybridized with twentieth century totalitarianism.

magiaghaee, you are either a fool or an enemy agitator; an enemy of the United States in either case.
